Frances was overjoyed as she immersed herself in her dream of being surrounded by mountains of wealth.


    Once she left, Dous asked, "Are you really going to help her? Aren''t you being too easy on her?"


    I shook my head. "She''ll only be able to watch us earn a sum if she doesn''t invest. Have someone report the iing profits every day and make sure she finds out about it by ''ident''. She''ll have to invest if she wants a piece of that cake." "That''s a dead end. She''s never going to spend a dime, Dous said.


    Tve already told you. I''ll give her the money to Invest if she refuses to." I smiled and added, "Have someone around the same age as her join the finance department. There''s no harm in making a new friend. Once she does, we''ll be able to meet all of her needs-" Suddenly, the sound of high heels clicking echoed outside the meeting room, and the door was pushed open.


    udia came in, wearing formal wear and a pair of high heels. She looked like a kid in adult clothes as every part of her outfit looked out of ce.


    However, she didn''t seem to see it that way as she held her chin high. "Ariana, why are you here? Didn''t Ms. Gardner tell you that Nichs is on a business trip? Why did youe all the way here?"


    Dous frowned and stood in front of me. "Who told you that Ms. Jones is here for someone? Ms. Quirk, please leave. We have reserved this meeting room, and our meeting isn''t over yet!"


    udia scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Who cares about those pennies of yours? The entire Hawk Corporation belongs to Nick. It''s kind ofme of you to even hold a meeting."


    I sneered. "Indeed, I haven''t made much money yet, but I am curious as to what Jobs Nichs has arranged for you since you joined thepany. How much have you earned?


    "I do feel happy for Nichs to see that you haven''t managed to ruin the secretarial department, and I''m d to see that the department is still in one piece."


    Nichs has always had high expectations for his employees, so I was shocked to hear that he had arranged for udia to join his secretarial department.


    It seemed like he would not be at ease unless she was by his side. That way, he would be able to continue doting on her.


    udia scoffed lightly and did not look upset. Instead, she seemed to be filled with confidence as she took out a ck card from her pocket.


    She waved it before me and said, "Do you see this? Nick has given me his card. He said he doesn''t right now, so I can spend it however I like." t need it


    l.ne


    I nced at the card and felt my head spin. Throughout my four years of marriage with Nichs, had only given me one of his supplementary cards. He said he would never treat me unfairly when


    it came to money. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    But right now, udia was holding onto his ck card. That was his only ck card, not a supplementary:


    card.


    For some reason, everything just felt so absurd. It was so absurd to the point that I wanted tough as it felt like I had to hand in my sry or something. Bitterness began to seep into my heart as I sneered and asked, "Where''s your brother?"


    I why she was there


    udia''s eyes began to dart around as she remembered why she was there. Nichs had sent her..


    He found out that I would be having a meeting at hispany, so he sent udia over to check up on how I was doing.


    He wanted to know how I was doing without him here with me-whether I was eating and sleeping properly, whether I had ever thought about him, whether I had gained or lost weight.


    He was like a stalker, wanting to know everything about me, yet he couldn''t face me, nor did he dare to do


    1. SO.


    He had to focus on getting better


    l.ne


    before he could appear before me. If he did not get better, he wasn''t sure when he might lose control of himself. If he couldn''t function like a proper human, how was he


    supposed to build a family?


    udia fell silent before taking out her phone. "Are you looking for Nick? I can just give him a call!"


    She quickly dialed his number and


    ced the call on speaker. The room fell into silence as we waited for Nichs to answer the phone, and I could feel my heartbeat syncing with the beeping sound.
